Did anyone else notice that cool fat green bird with the Char (from Gundam) mask in Konata's room? It was in the last episode as well. I really think it's funny and cute. It's kind of like Kagami's Bonta-kun.

It's a large version of "彗星ヒヨコ" (Suisei Hiyoko) from the Gundam parody 4-koma manga "機動戦士ガンダムさん" It's in my EP19 Ref post part I, where I have a picture of it.

I really want a purple one... I thinking its probably a hard to find item.

Lucky Star is back to hopping around as though the storyboard has Tourette's. *sigh* Oh, well. Not really any moments I found outstanding, but there was a lot of good, and the low periods weren't boring. I confess I had some warm fuzzies when the entire group was finally together.

My reaction to the Haruhi commercial was as follows.

"What's cleavage doing in my Lucky Star?!...Oh, it's Haruhi...OK, now I'm feeling Kaioshin-rage, this is TOO MUCH--and Haruhi's breasts are not so enormous as that... Oh, it seems to be self-satire...I can live with that, but I could have done without it."

Not surprisingly, that Haruhi insert was bound to cross the "Line of Tolerability" for some people, like you and Kaioshin (whose line for this show is set so low that it's almost always crossed ). It has not crossed mine, but Shiraishi's live action ED this week came close.

The Air references in Lucky Channel were great, but I was so tired when I saw it, I couldn't figure out what they were referencing! I'm a huge fan of Air, so I'm very ashamed of myself, but I'm blaming it on the fact that I hadn't had my nap.

I had to replay that scene to make sure if I wasn't dreaming when I heard Akira-sama going "piko~". Now if only Ono can go yelling "Ramen Setto!!!"

Say say say, Kinny-san. I read your post diligently.

Ah, you've replied before I had the chance to remove that comment after having second thoughts. Let's just pretend I never said that.

I've actually not minded at all any of the Haruhi moments in the series, until that point. I think it was too much, but the fact that they really seemed to be poking fun at their own Haruhi-insertion made it passable for me.

Also, the depiction bothered me. I'm a traditional male, and cannot fathom ever being bothered by an increase in breast size... but the nerd in me kept screaming "OFF MODEL! OFF MODEL!!"

You sir, have the distinguished honor of being Very Right. I think if I'd heard that, my heart might have stopped beating.

I thought the Anime Ono came across as especially gay... perhaps they've finally realize that the only glaring hole for L*S for total and utter otaku domnation was the lack of a BL pair; we have a short, ugly guy called Shiraishi playing solo for 19 weeks now. So Now they've figure out that they've need TWO guys to make a YAOI fantasy, so they've brought out the seiyuu of everyone's favorite ambiguously gay chara, "Make it like a Tree" Itsuki. Oh brilliance... now even BL Day in future COMIKET will have Lucky Star presence.

So the big (fujoshi) question is, who's seme and who's uke? Please refer to this blog post from one of my favorite blogs for terminology reference.

I think some may think Shiraishi is automatically seme, being so dorky and, well, MALE. From this angle I conclude that Shiraishi is へたれ攻め (hetare-zeme); or a seme who is reluctant or hopeless. If Ono is uke, then he is surely オレ様受け(ore-sama-uke), or an uke who's quite arrogant and narcissistic. I can see Ono call himself Ore-sama. If the role is reversed, I can see Ono being a 鬼畜攻め (kichiku-zeme), or a cold, perverted, brutal seme, while Shiraishi being just a regular, Shota-like uke.

Well either way, Hiroyi must be a happy camper. She gets Yuri AND Yaoi in the same show.

I've quit rating episodes of this show, since I love them all. They're all nines, I guess, for me.

There is so much to like: the ideas, the characters, the animation, the character design, the voices, the gentle pace, the sweet romance between Yuu-chan and Minami-chan (which I agree will go little further than it has).

One of the nice throwaway lines this week: Kona-chan's quiet naruhodo ("Ah, I see...") when Miyuki's mom revealed how dojikko she was herself.

I can't claim to have loved Shiraishi in the ED, but I found Kaorin's smiling attempts to follow him really charming. I liked it that the main part of the show was a bit longer this week.

And I agree that it would be great to see Itoshiki-sensei show up. Was it just coincidence that the same scenic spot was mentioned in both shows (Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei and this)?

Someone mentioned the hands seeming poorly done last week, and since I particularly loved the hands in episode 1, I looked carefully this week. I find the way hands are blobby but extremely well animated once they move very interesting. I think this is part of the visual structure of the show, one of the ways Yamakan came up with to keep costs down while still providing occasional KyoAni awesomeness.

Finally saw the subs, and this is really is a great episode. It was really hilarious to see that even Konata can see the Minami x Yutaka thing going on, too bad she's too blind to see that she's in the same boat with them, with obviously you know who. And yes, I still believe!!!

Konata x Kagami FTW!

Can anybody vector this or make it a wallpaper? The whole image is just waiting for a wallpaper treatment! Anybody willing to do it?

With Kaorin in every ED with Shiraishi in it, can we assume that something is going on between the two? I highly doubt that their appearances are solely because they're in the same show. Shiraishi has written a song for her, coupled with her looking like a bride, this time he sings about a bride, anybody see the pattern here?

Kinny, I think you should book a flight to Japan already, you may be too late...

As for an Shiraishi X Daisuke, I hope to God it doesn't happen, there can only be one partner for Daisuke, and that is none other than Tomokazu Sugita! Kyon X Itsuki FTW!

Reason: Got the names wrong... lol!

10/10...thats goes without saying,every episode of Lucky Star also will get full 10 from me =D

LoL-ed at some facts in this episode

Spoiler:

Kagami - Why are the main characters of those games always popular without question?Konata - Dunno..coz probably it won't be a game if they're not popular enoughMy answer - LoL..isn't that the reason for this is so obvious?Why would people wanna make a money from something that isn't popular at all..

Kagami - How come the heroines of those games look so cute and have such great personalities,yet never have a boyfriend?They're all there for your picking..Konata - Dunno..coz probably it won't be a game if they had boyfriends.My answer - LoL...coz its your job to find a boyfriend for the heroines...or else it won't fit the name "date sim" game.

And among the quote from the game that Konata played

Spoiler:

- Gosh you have to do your homework >> Kagami..this has to be Kagami
- I..it's not like i'm worried about you or anything >> Only tsundere type character will say something like this..and again the first anime girl character i had in my mind gonna say something like this is none other than Kagami
- Alright..if you say so,"insert character name",i'll do it >> I can't find anyone from Lucky Star that fit enough to say this kind of quote...

And what's with the "strengthening the arm to lock the mosquito from flying away"...i never heard something like that...

Love the fireworks scenery..along with Yutaka-Minami scenes..

To think that Lucky Star only left with another 4 episodes...i really wish they make a new season for it T.T

O wow... After this episode, I no longer understand what is the relationship between Yutaka and Minami. I mean... you can say that they are just extremely good friends, and since Minami doesn't seem to have many friends, she becomes extremely attached to Yutaka. You can also say that they both have some sort of "beyond the friendship" feeling towards each other... even Konata senses it.

Kagami's observation's about dating sims were spot on, even if you don't play any of the games, if you watch the anime based off of it these girls should have boyfriends. Plus these indecisive male leads with generally weak personalities seem to attract everyone. Now that doesn't keep me from watching some of them, but her points are well taken ;x

Spoiler:

I just actually thought about Kanon after that scene and realised that it kinda did make sense why none of the main female characters had boyfriends.

Anyway, another awsome episode. I ma give it..... a 9.

I think of it more like a sibling-like relationship (onee-sama - imouto, etc...), seen in some highschool comedy/drama.
